Touch7 for Small Shop Extended Gamut

Richard Ainge and Mark Geeves, who developed the Color-Logic’s Process Metallic Color System, are introducing a new product called Touch7 for extended gamut printing.

“Extended colour gamut grinting is nothing new to the printing industry, however, Touch7 with it’s automated and simple one-click colour palettes and plug-ins, empowers designers and prepress personnel to do in seconds, what currently can require hours in manual processing and masking,” explains Geeves, Touch7’s Director of Sales and Marketing.

“The developments by ink companies, print engines, RIP manufacturers and ICC profiling tools has been extensive over the past years, however, no one has really focused on the necessity for providing creative tools for designers, so that they can utilize these developments and reduce their cycle time to production,” continues Geeves.

He explains Touch7 is designed as an intuitive system to help brands utilize extended gamut printing at a fraction of the time and cost associated with doing manual processing, and without the necessity to send files through a dedicated colour separation system. Geeves explains this opens up extended gamut printing to some of the industry’s smallest print shops.

Richard Ainge explains the “true power” of Touch7 lies in its automated ECG colour palettes and plug-ins for Adobe CC, which allows designers to create artwork in an extended colour gamut, without having to leave the Adobe environment.

Touch7 is comprised of three primary components: Touch7 Photo, Touch7 Vector and Touch7 Soft-Proofing.
